My dear hive friends,

you know I would not ask for help, if it wouldn't be serious - and I only do it for very good friends that I care about a lot!

So here is the story: Marcú is an important friend of my family in Mexico, who is living in Tequesquitengo, near Mexico City.

I got to know him during my very first year abroad 11 years ago, because he is one of the best friends of my aunt - he is offering ultra-light flights.

Every time when we went to see him, he took me on a flight with him, which was very generous and awesome! Here you can see a video of the departure and flying over the lake of Tequesquitengo:

A few years ago, I wrote about one of the experiences they are offering:

His house is always open to everyone - it doesn´t matter if humans or animals (he has a lot of dogs) - the whole family is super nice and welcoming all the time! So when I heard he is in an urgent need of help - for me there was no question about helping him in any way I could.

This is the reason why I am writing to all of you today! I'll support him to raise the money for the treatment of his illness ASAP.

Marcú needs to fight a Tumor!

We urgently need to collect funds for chemotherapy and radiotherapy to defeat this tumor. So Marcú will be able to fly again!

What is it about?

The outcome of this post and every collection directly made on The donation page will allow Marcú to attend quickly to the necessary treatment since he does not have the time to schedule his cure in the social security system - It is not working and helping him in any way...

The precise diagnosis of the type of tumor, that he is facing in the lower back and that is attacking the spine is "Lymphoma".

This condition is treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Generally the doctors said that there is a good response to this treatment. But it is very expensive. - So please help us raising a large crowdfunding with everybody's help!

How will this money be used?

The funds will be used to pay for studies, clinical analyses, urological treatment, and chemotherapy/radiotherapy; but also transfers to Mexico City, pain medication, and any other necessary therapy. The challenge is to gather as much as possible.

With your contribution we can make it happen!

Here a few documents for transparency, trust and verification:

About the promoter listed on the donor page

The promoter is my aunt Birgid. She has known Marcú since the pioneering days of sport ultralight flying in Mexico. Marcú, another pilot named Luis, and another taught her to fly. They lived through many stories and adventures, and he and his family are like family to us. The idea is to do what is necessary so that Marcú can get rid of this bad trip - We want him to fly again, soon. Everyone involved thank you with all the heart.

How can you help?

Please help to get him his treatment! - He surely deserves to have a chance <3

1. It's easy to vote on this post to support him. The whole payout will be sent by me personally to the donor page. And of course, I will post further about it to verify the donations (that payout I will also donate).

2. Just go directly to the donation page and send funds with Credit Card or Paypal: https://donadora.org/campanas/marcu-combate-tumor

3. Community Power: Spread the word, repost this post and ask your friends to help as well.

So please take five minutes and change his life - even if it is not a lot. If we get enough people to give a little part, it will be enough and he has a chance to survive.

Let's show the power of the Hive community and send Marcú some love :)

He and his family will be very happy, if you do so:

Thanks a lot and big hugs! <3
